Citizen science projects in health-related research usually follow a crowdsourcing approach where laypersons primarily have supplying role data collection. By contrast, this article presents an on much higher engagement level (co-creation) team of professional and citizen scientists jointly plans, implements, evaluates scientific study chronic disease from which the (patient) themselves suffer....

this research was conducted in the west forest of guilan, northern iran. data from various harvesting methods for 20 years were collected. results showed that, productivity rate of round wood, pulp wood and fuel wood has had an upward trend, while rate of traditional products (lumber, sawn wood, charcoal, etc.) has had a downward trend. production cost has been investigated in this research. th...

Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) technology is expected to support net-zero targets by supplying low energy while providing dioxide removal (CDR). BECCS estimated deliver 20 70 MtCO2 annual negative emissions 2050 in the UK, despite there are currently no operating facility. This research modelling demonstrating flexibility, scalability attainable immediate application of BECCS...

In recent years, manufacturers of animal-based foods with health claims have encountered difficulties in the labeling of their products because of a lack of regulation on defining the functionality of animal-based foods. Therefore, this study was conducted to establish the basic requirements for the development of a definition for functional animal-based foods by investigating consumer and indu...

Propositional plans of all forms often display a certain level of concurrency which can be exploited by scheduling the plan. This reveals the earliest times at which each action can be applied whilst still achieving the goal and shortening the plan duration. However, the output of this scheduling process is simply a set of timestamped actions, losing implicit information present in the original...
